Challenges - Because there are no problems my @ssIssues - see ChallengesDeltas - why can't you just say "changes" or "losses"Action Item - Do you mean a verb or are you saying you're actually going to work?

Just some of the ones I hear daily and cause me to want to punch the speaker in the face.

Hate to say this, retrorussell, but I like all the words you used as an example.

Number one on my list of hated words is "shammy". (That's right, I put the period outside the quotation marks, and one day the world will agree with me.)

I just hate the word from the very sound of it. It's just a collection of weak-by-themselves vocal sounds packed into one uber-unpleasant word. If I had to describe the word itself, I would call it "flabby", a word it structurally has a lot in common with.

I'm not altogether sure why it strikes me so wrong, but that doesn't stop me from hating it.

Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

Diva - instantly makes me think self-worshiping narcissist. Apparently that's a compliment these days.Bling. I've always hated that word, it's synonymous with gaudy and in poor taste. I thought it died out but egads, it seems to be making a minor comeback.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: "awesome." If you're using the same word to describe a Photoshopped picture of Yoda spouting a catchphrase, and the experience of seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time, that word has become meaningless.

Actually, I think "awesome" is so overused that you cannot call something that legitimately inspires awe "awesome" without sounding flippant. If someone described the experience of looking into their newborn child's eyes as "awesome," I'd suspect they're not serious enough about parenting.

I hate words that people make up for no particularly good reason, that rip off other words."Pwned" is stupid.And I hate when people change the "s" at the end of a word to "z" (like, "boyz"). Utterly dumb.Yeah, I hate "bling" too.

Snapback- It's called a Trucker hat FFS!, also, the name can imply you snapped someone's neck backwards.

YOLO- An Abbriviation to You Only Live Once, it's a motto that young stupid kids use before doing something that harms, even kills them. Example, 'I'm drunk and going 100+ on the streets. #YOLO' I know of about the Darwins Awards, however, these kids seem to have lost a few brain cells and having them in the awards seem to kill the amusement of the strangest deaths of the year awards.

Swag- Basically, anyone who saids this, I want to punch them, as it implies that they are richer than me, and all of that gloating makes me want to rip them in half.

Pretty much ALL P-C terms, , because they're generally propagated by people who only care about feeling superior to other people, or who like having professional victim status.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.
